Went to Deadwind today to grind some pets using Arcane Eye. They weren't there, and I had nothing else to do, so on a whim decided to try soloing Kharazan knowing absolutely nothing about it save vague stories about Opera and Chess. I made it through handily and at the end was rewarded with this little guy that I didn't even know existed until I looted.

I'm surprised how every breed of this pet has a use. If you want him for Explode - you need a H/H; if you're thinking about Nether Gate - you have to pick P/S (since S/S isn't available... the 281 speed still works fine, there are plenty of slower pets in PvP); and if you just want a hard hitter with Crush and Meteor Strike - you take the P/P.

First off, this pet is big, and it has an awesome helfire animation, which it does fairly often.

If you really want to have some fun with it, go to the Darkmoon fair, and when the Warchiefs play their concert, if you come from the very back of the stage sticking close to the side and stand right up against the front of the stage, it will run up onto the stage and stand at the front like a boss, and probably start helfireing part way through the song. Netherspace Abyssal=Metal!

After running Kara on 7 toons two weeks in a row with only 3 pets drops total (everything but this bugger), I decided to just buy this one. I mean seriously, I had the MOUNT drop and not this thing -_-. Got a P/P breed from the ah though, which is what I wanted anyway. So to those of you still farming this little bugger good luck.

If given some time this little Abyssal will start to channel a hellfire-like spell, just like the larger ones summoned by Prince Malchezaar during his fight.

I made four runs through Kara. Three were met with the Wizard of Oz fight and the last got Red Riding Hood. First toon lost at chess four times, the following two wiped once each. No pets dropped at all. Then the last toon got the Lil'wolf off of the big wolf. I lost at chess twice and got the Abyssal for my troubles. Woot.

I finally did the chest with this guide i found http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vO9-LdjFiIc. Got it on my second toon and im so happy i dont have to do that chest anymore :D, i went with 3 of my toons and didnt have luck on the other companios :S

First run of the day through kara, no other pets dropped so was greatful that he dropped off the last boss.. No more chess event when I run through on all my alts :3 10 more timest today hopefully more pets drop!
